Let’s face it, we have all been sucked into the hype surrounding a product, only to be disappointed about performance in the field. Nonetheless, failures in performance, function, and durability can become a big issue fast in our pursuit, and they are good to know about. Especially in an environment full of paid promotion.
What overhyped gear has disappointed you or failed you? What was the shortcoming or failure? How could the product be improved upon? Have you found a better option?
This isn’t meant to be a negative thread, but rather a place to bring to light the flaws in over-hyped products, in hopes of making them better or glorifying superior options. I realize that a lot of this stuff is personal preference, so let’s try not to spend time bickering back and forth on who is right or wrong, offer constructive advice on a fix or alternative option, or move along.
